I try to offer as much as I can to the director so he has as much to work with as possible to create the character that, really, he wants to create in a sense.

My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn't want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.

I'm about as healthy as a person can be. I quit smoking seven or eight years ago.

The secrecy thing has gotten to be more and more prevalent in films, and maybe that's good. It's nice to go see a film and not know anything about it. Sometimes I feel like we know too much about films.

I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York.

There's something so wonderful about being an actor in New York.

I'm always surprised when people say, "Oh, it got such mixed reviews." I guess I didn't read them.
